"Updating manufacturing with DX"

Jong, Production Technology, Japan

Job Description

Making full use of DX technology to bring innovation to manufacturing

I am in charge of promoting DX (digital transformation) technology at production sites. We are developing systems to improve the added value of production sites by applying AI and IoT technologies.

For example, we will consider what kind of sensors should be installed in on-site equipment and how the collected big data can lead to on-site improvement and work efficiency, organize requirements, and proceed with development. In addition to utilizing data, we are also working on projects to automate tasks that were previously done manually using digital technology.

By making full use of digital technology in manufacturing, we are able to produce high-quality products more efficiently and provide new value to society.
We are also working to reduce the workload on the site and create a safer, more secure, and more comfortable work site.

Motivation for Joining the Company

I fell in love with the high level of technical skills

When I was in elementary school, I was passionate about modifying radio controls and disassembling motors. Around the same time, I often watched motorsports, so I started to think about working on cars.

Based on this experience, I decided to join the company because I thought that by being involved in mobility development, I could do a job that would leave an impression on someone's life.

Useful Learning and Experience

You can make use of your learning attitude and ability to think through

When I was in college, I was researching mechatronics. The knowledge and thinking skills acquired through engineering processes such as design, fabrication, and verification can be used in my current work.

It is also helpful to have a habit of being motivated to incorporate new technologies acquired during school days, such as engaging in external exchanges and checking the latest papers.

I feel that I am contributing to the revitalization of the organization by learning new technologies and sharing them within the company.

Appeal of Astemo

There are professional seniors who can consult with you about anything.

The best part is that there are seniors who can talk to you about anything. If there is something you don't understand or a problem arises, there are seniors nearby who you can always talk to. Sometimes I also consult my senior about life. You can learn not only about work but also about various things from professional seniors with high technical skills.

Another attraction of Astemo is that it handles a wide range of products, so there are plenty of opportunities to be involved in work in various fields. In my five years with the company, I have experienced work in various fields. I think it's an exciting environment for engineers.
